AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT I WAS AT MOTORSPORT UK’s offices at the end of last month, when the news broke that the British round of the World Rally Championship might be rotated around the country. The source of the story was the commercial boss of the WRC – and it appeared to catch Motorsport UK on the back foot.
As much as I would like to give you a fly on the wall account of what happened at Colnbrook as calls from news organisations came in, I am bound by off-the-record etiquette merely to report that the response was pretty professional as members of staff moved quickly to explain MSUK’s position.
